Flowtown never seems to be at a loss for informative infographics, and their latest one about the importance of apps is no stranger to this rule. The infographic begins by showing how our culture has become so app dependent due to the increase in smart phones. It then dissects the app user, by showing that the majority of app users are younger, more educated, and more affluent than other cell phone users.

The second part of the infographic goes into detail about the most popular types of apps on the market today. This is a highly informative section that could come into use for anyone wanting to develop an app to supplement their income. In this chart, you can see that game apps are the most popular, which is to be expected, but some may be surprised that puzzle and strategy apps are the most popular of all game apps.

The final part of this infographic shows how often apps are downloaded and how much they are used. It’s interesting to see that some people have not downloaded apps for awhile, which could be for a number of reasons, one being that the market is becoming too saturated, so there are too many to choose from. It is also interesting to see that most app users actually take advantage of having the app on a daily basis, rather than buying and not touching anymore. This could suggest that app users are becoming more savvy and choosing to download a select set of apps based on what they know they will use.

The one thing that this infographic does not have, which would have been interesting to see, is the overall revenue of the apps industry. This is quickly becoming a highly profitable venue for developers, and I’ve always wondered just how much the average developer earns and how much the entire industry is worth.

This infographic, brought to you by AllFacebook.com, shows the number of applications for 3 different platforms: Facebook, the iPhone, and the Android. Interestingly enough, Facebook has far more apps than the iPhone and the Android combined. While this infographic does not cover a lot of information, it does a good job of displaying the major points and one can see that Facebook is the winner within the first few seconds of looking at the image. Facebook has over 550,000 apps, with 1,000,000 developers, and the average cost for an application is $0.

Of course, the big question to consider is whether or not this is an apples to apples comparison. Facebook itself comes as a mobile application on the iPhone and Android phones, and is not something you can carry in your pocket without these mobile devices. Because Facebook apps are not something that can help with the day-to-day in a way that a mobile application can, the iPhone and Android apps are very different. Regardless, it’s a fun infographic that displays some interesting points, but whether this is an even match is another question all together.
